In an ambitious move towards modern urbanisation, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s vision for the Lanseria Smart City has officially taken its first steps.

With the development set to commence later this month, a cutting-edge water-treatment plant anticipated to produce 2 megalitres per day (2MLD) is at the heart of this project, laying the groundwork for one of South Africa’s most significant infrastructure developments.

Budgeted at over R320 million, this state-of-the-art facility is designed to not only address the critical lack of bulk infrastructure in the Lanseria region but also significantly reduce environmental impact.

The project is projected to save 300 000 tons of CO2 emissions while reusing 90% of the water processed, making it 4-8 times less power intensive compared to traditional plants.

Scheduled for completion within 18 months, the water treatment plant's implementation will begin with a sod-turning ceremony next week.

Following this, the development team will engage in public consultations to finalise designs for essential access roads and other supporting infrastructure.

As part of the broader “Lanseria Mega Project,” this facility is intended to accommodate a burgeoning population estimated between 350 000 to 500 000 residents. The plant is projected to generate 4 500 jobs, provide potable water to approximately 1 800 inhabitants, and offer more than 300 000 square metres of commercial space, marking a significant economic boon for the area.

Initial residential developments are projected to feature 1 000 mid-market units alongside 700 GAP housing units, catering to diverse economic demographics.

President Ramaphosa has described this project as a “truly post-apartheid city,” stressing its intent to create a vibrant and modern urban environment.

“This is a real city that is rising from the ground up...we have put together an innovative process that will fund the electricity, water, digital infrastructure and roads that will be the foundation of this new city,” he said.

“It will not only be smart and 5G-ready, but will be a leading benchmark for green infrastructure, both continentally and internationally.”

The Lanseria Smart City’s formation can be traced back to its introduction in 2015. Since its approval in 2017, the project has navigated various stages, culminating in the current drive towards essential bulk infrastructure.

Cool

Wakanda forever

Nigeria still battling stable electricity, banditry, kidnappings, weak economy, useless government, extremely useless supporters of the government, an overwhelming number of unbelievably stupid twats defending the useless government.

Hopefully it gets completed. The reason SA is developed is because the whites overstayed. Even in the ministry of agriculture where I worked, most of the facilities were built by the whites when they were here. The whites are not saints but they have enough sense to develop where they will stay while black man develops other people's home.

Reason why I will always support Dangote irrespective of his monopolistic tendencies. Many other people like Atiku(he probably is in Dubai right now) should repent

Dont worry ,d city is for white south africans....they d only ones that can afford it.D black south africans are not business savvy bt only rely on fighting other nationalities that knack their women better than dem.

They can't handle the truth and facts staring them in the face T-pain, y u now make your children suffer so much, them now become so delusional they can't face reality + now hide behind white excuse for everything good happening in SA black SA man Ramaphosa, we hail thee, show Dunggoatee + davidos papa how its done

That's a giant leap for SA... and it's due for completion in 18 months! The completion rate is gonna be pretty fast for a huge housing development like that.

Be bold and call a spade a spade. The problem of Nigeria is the Yoruba tribe!
